A time capsule of the greatest financial mania in the history of mankind, told in real-time by regular folks and patriots. May future generations better understand the madness of crowds, and how power and money corrupt.

"It is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers"

- John McCain, before he eventually modifies his position after seeing the media coverage, polling data and drop in contributions, and after he already said bailing out Bear Stearns with $29 billion in government money and selling it to one of his top contributors was not a bailout, March 2008

Wall Street Banks own America, all 350 million of us. The path to freedom is to let them fail, every single one of them.

Walk away from the debt and they will crumble, and we will have to learn to fend for ourselves for a while. This problem was created because we elected thieves to govern us. The only way to rid ourselves of these leeches is to make sure that these rats go down with the ship, and then build a new ship that is rat free (and then fumigate regularly)

This is going to happen anyway over the next several years, it will just be slower and the rats will escape and we will be forced to hunt them down.

Oh my what to do, what to do. Take the hit now, grit the teeth and take our medicine, or sink ever so slowly with the rats?

Personally, I think we should pour gas and set fire to the whole stinking garbage barge, and then we need to be on the beach with shovels as they try to crawl out of the water and smack the little banker rats on their evil widdle heads.

The great big bailout of FB'ers is coming. I just love it that most of you HP'ers did the right thing, you saved, worked hard, were frugal and made sound life decisions. But in the end those that were the exact opposite of you will get rewarded while you get to pay for it! LOL, LOL, LOL.

Listen to McCain talk today vs 8 years ago. His memory is getting worse little by little. By the time his term is over, if elected, he will be a blathering idiot as was Reagan at the start of his dementia. I've been working with this type of patient for a few decades. Trust me. From the time of being a POW to now campaigning has stress cummulative effects. I really believe I'm seeing the start of some senile dementia here. You saw him being prompted by Leiberman in Iraq. Remember how Nancy Reagan used to whisper to RR when he couldn't remember something during his last year in office? Think about it. Who will be pulling the strings when McCains mind starts to fade? The MSM likely won't be to anxious to explore his mental capacity. Wouldn't be PC.

Just out of curiosity, I thought everyone here was against a bailout? So why are you criticizing the guy who says he's against a bailout? Hillary and Obama are far more likely to be in favor of a bailout and I would think that they would draw more of your ire.
